Is this a rep or genuine? Safe to buy?

Just my two centavos, but what gets to me is the OP's consistent question about "tells".
So, OP, go to the mall. Ask 100 people whether your 111 rep is gen or not. In particular, ask whether the rubber strap is a good replica of the gen.

OP Didn't listen ...
OP Didn't listen...
OP Still bought the watch...
Guys were great! Very patient... Answered all questions helpfully...even @Tucker
Seems the only one who refused to see the help was the OP who was hell-bent on buying the over priced PAM.
...and there it is...came on to ask for advice, followed none of it...wonder if we'll ever see the OP again?
No, he didn't get the answer he wanted.
It seems none of us thought it was a good idea to buy this watch ....but he bought it anyway.

I loves the ones who turn up, do no research of their own and then ask the same question over and over until someone gives the answer they wanted to hear and ignores the other 100 people telling him not to do it.
No because he went ahead and bought it, and now he's asking us should he be happy with the purchase. :facepalm:
So you're the reason he posted that other thread. :facepalm:

Are you in Phoenix? If so, I bought a 111 from the same guy. Bought it for a friend who didn't want to order from China or wait for something to pop up in m2m. You can definitely do better for $300. Panerai lettering on the dial is off compared to my 318 and it felt lighter than mine, but my friend didn't care and he likes it.

Good question, Col. Admittedly I did not specifically respond to his questions.
"Is this a rep? Yes, it is.
"Is it safe to buy?" Yes, it will probably not cause physical or emotional harm to you and your loved ones.
"Is it worth $300?" No.
"Is it a good rep?" No.
"What would be better about a TD rep?" RWI support, for one.
"Is there any obvious tells that this is a rep that you can point out?" Not the point, but see my previous post RE: "tells."
"Is there anything wrong with the watch you can spot from the pics?" Wrong in what way? It's a rep.
"...is there anything besides the movement that looks off? Specifically on the dial/case" Yes.
This is only the thread's first page.
Maybe if I have spent several years studying fake watches as a passion like the rest of you I would have been educated enough to not ask these dumbass questions. Please pardon my ignorance. You all sound like a lot of fun in real life. Cheers.

I have to take some responsibility for the new thread as I too asked him to post a picture of the watch once he had bought it. Hopefully the op is enjoying his new watch sitting in the sun drinking a cool beer

None of the above matters - it's you who'll be wearing the watch - 99.9% of people won't even notice your watch, so the only opinion that counts is yours, and if you can't see the difference between this watch, a good rep, and the genuine article then it doesn't make sense to spend more money on something you won't be able to appreciate.
